One should have glowing attributes to describe a celebrity, I suppose, but all I could think of was “nice.” Actually that is a glowing attribute as far as I am seoncerned. Jack Scott walked into the living- room, and there was no formatity: We were “Jack”” and “Irene” from the start, and he was dandling Wara and discusing formulas before he had been sitting five minutes. He walked into the living-room, wearing a brown tweed jacket and undistinguished khaki pants. There was no hat upon the mass of dark, slightly greying curly hair which only one of his daughters has in- herited unfortunately. He had a deep tan which I forgot to ask about, see- ing as coast weather has been as terrible as the Cariboo. He was of average height, and quite good-look- ing. I felt no embarrassment of our unmodern apartment and the fact that we had to eat in_the kitchen, with the pots and pans staring us in the face, His casual, laconic attitude made me feel at ease. He ate little compared to Clive, who now wonders if he would become a famous columnist if he cut down. Jack ate no dessert at all, and after I had really strained myself to make chocolate sauce for the ice cream too. He spoke with enjoyment of his home on Saltspring Island where he moved four years ago, sick with city life. He admitted (and I hope he will forgive any secrets I may divulge) sthat he really did not lounge in a hammock as much as he intimated in his columns. And speaking of se- crets, he never calls his wife Grace by the nickname “Brown Byes.” He cannot refer to his oldest daughtey as "Little Princess" any more either as she came home ftom school one day demanding that he stop. Her play mates were teasing her with the mickname. “So,” he said, “naturally Progress Made In Re-organizing Girl Guides Here Despite a lack of parental interest ‘shown in the disappointing turnout for the committee meeting held Sat- |urday evening in the Fire Hall, and the combined Guide, Brownie and |Leaders meeting held Sunday atter- noon in Columbus Hall, there was definite progress in re-forming these | youth organizations.

All provinces were represented by their Provincial Commissioners and troops. Some though was given to 4 Mother ughter Banquet as has proved ul in Vancouver.

He hopefully tried to persuade his wife to join him by plane at Prince George. Naturally we got onto the subject of writing, and I was considerably encouraged to know that he took four or five hours to turn out his daily effort. He writes one sentence at a time, giving a lot of thought to the next one. He rarely re-writes. I had been convinced up to then, that I was perhaps the only columnist who took the best part of the eve- ning to turn out a column. The only difference is that Jack Scott really .has something to show for the ef- fort. And if I had to do it every| day, insteod of once a week, this column would have been “finis’t . “© long ago. I asked him about that big stumbl- ing block — an idea to turn out a column on, And he replied that he worked from ten hasic ideas and al- though I didn’t find out what they all were, he mentioned writing about (1) something in your youth (2) something about children (3) polities (4) travel... ete. ete. Inevitably I asked about Len Nor- ris, the Sun's superb cartoonist; and bravely, about Eric Nicol, his humor- ous rival on the Province pages. In real life they exuded little humor, he said. “Get Eric Nicol and Len Norris together in a room for the evening. and they won't exchange ten words,” he said. Although Jack isn’t dripping with funny anecdotes himself, he is no slouch as a conversationalist either, and we had no trouble making small talk. I mentoined that I had written an angry letter to him years ago. (He had visited a hair-styling school, and commented that the proprietor had said there were no true blondes at the coast). I sat down and offered wildly to prove that there were . . . to both of them.
